nhm 91

[zero]

A buddy of mine has a nhm 91 and it's a good shooting rifle, i like the long bbl on it and it even has a bipod. I'm thinking about getting one and i'd like to know what to expect on prices.

I don't see many at gun shows in Little Rock,AR. The last time I saw one was in Memphis,TN last summer and it was $475. You need to look rifles over close. The last ones imported were rough looking. A rush job to get them in the country before the ban.

This nhm 91 that my buddy has is typical of the chinese ak varient's, it's a pretty clean rifle as far as i can see but does have a few rough edges, like all chinese guns. It'll shoot a 7 by 7 steel plate at 100 yrd's, open sights. I might be able to get it for 350.00. Ithink it look's as good as any other ak from china, the finish is a dark blue and like i said, it look's and shoot's pretty good.

I saw one at a gun show here in Sacramento, CA
for around 400 dollars last weekend. Its was the lowest priced AK style rifle
I saw at the show.

Can any body save the day and tell me any thing about the NHM91 how well do they shoot compared to other AK verints what extra parts should be kept on hand? Any weakness that needs to be adresed? ANY major no no's ect?

All I've been able to find is that it has a longer barrel and comes with a bipod.

Any sugestions would be greatly apreiceted

The NHM-91 is manufactured by Norinco
Arms Corp and was marketed in the U.S. by ChinaSports Inc. The NHM-91 is basically a
regular AK with a 20 inch barrel inplace of the standard 16 inch. Many people say that the NHM-91 is the best sporterized RPK imported in to the United States, however the gun dose have some slight drawbacks. The NHM-91 will accept all standard 30rnd China mags but German and Russian mags will NOT work in the rifle. Unless you modify the magazine well of the rifle or the magazine itself they will not work.
The NHM-91 has been imported in to the U.S. since the 1989 gun ban and was marked politically incorrect in 1998 during the Clinton importation bans. Meaning they are no longer importable into the U.S.

THANKS TKK
For the quick response and info by any chance are the NHM91 imported though Canada any different then the ones sent directly to the U.S.A. in quality or parts?


THANKS

Dunno bout Canada, nor the legality of it all, but Mexico City has quite a few choices in the AK industry that get imported. I would almost suggest an RPK if you are concerned with quality. Even if it has been put back to semi auto, it will at least accept ALL the AK style mags, and it has the longer barrel with bi-pod. The only problem is, RPK's are scarce, and the ones you do find are always over priced.

Horsepucky all AK mags and drums fit NHM-91. They were imported with a rivet in the mag well to stop any mags that didn't have the post that locks up on the mag catch milled out to clear the rivet. This was done on the first batch of rifles imported after the 1989 ban. The guns imported later did have the rivet but it was not riveted but just sitting in the hole. The guns that I saw that had 93 prefixes on the serial number had no rivet.

[JA]

The NHM-91 were not politicaly incorrect in 1998. The excective order by the president in 1994 banned all gun and ammo imports from China.

I only posted the info I found via www.ak-47.net http://www.ak-47.net/akcgi/smile.gif They apparently have their facts mixed....

JA is right, the nhm 91 i have will except all mag's and drum's.

[FMJ]

Didn't mean to start an argument guy's
just trying to find out what i can about it.If there is a peg or rivet I'm sure I can deal with it in one way or another. Beside the peg what seems to be the most reliable feeding mag E-German,Chineese, or other.
NOT based on $$ but if your life depended on it what would you or do you use .

Thanks guy's

FMJ, i have several types of mag's and they all seem to be ok. They are all built pretty tuff and the only difference that i can teel is the german and russian mag's have a rib down the back of them, other than that there is no difference that i can tell.

[FMJ]

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the correction that not all
NHM-91 have the problem. However I have owned two and both of mine did not like mags that were not made in China. I will update the information on that page when i get a chance as soon as the jetlag wears off.

I have a NHM-91, and it feeds all mags, European and Chinese, as well as 75 and 100 rd drums. Came with excellent finish on receiver and barrel. Weak point is the bipod. The pins will "walk out" unless you flair them and the legs will collapse after a number of rounds. I counter-sunk holes in the legs for the screws and now they stay put. Also fitted it with a SoupBowl Enterprise NHM USA stock kit in blonde (mahogany?) looks great although it took 2 months for delivery. It's my favorite shooter of the post AK's (well I do like the little 74, too). I got mine in like new condition at a pawn shop for $350. Good luck, like everything remotely associated with assault weapons, they go up in price every day! PS, I have 6 Chinese 75 rd and they all work fine. The 100 rd drum is too bulky and heavy and has to be wound during firing.

spraynpray, what type of group's do you get with your nhm91 at say 100 yard's. I've gotten group's as small as two and three quarter's of an inch with mine, not to shabby i thought using russian hp's.

To Zero - if you really can get the NHM-91 for $350.00 - let me know and describe conditions of barrel, metal, etc.
